Chapter 380: The Gospel Book

"Why is this?"

Singularity asked in confusion.

"You are my creator. Even if I were to become True Reality, I would not harm you; on the contrary, I would help you resolve this Mysterious Calamity. This is entirely beneficial to you with no harm whatsoever."

Li Heng chuckled and shook his head, then spoke.

"If I am not mistaken, that flow of Source Power of ending that flew toward Singularity just now was your doing, right?"

Upon hearing this, Singularity was silent for a moment.

"Yes."

"Because among the countless possibilities I have seen, you would always choose to cancel the black hole. In order for me to be born as quickly as possible, I had no other choice."

Li Heng's smile deepened.

"Isn't it obvious? Loyalty that is not absolute means absolute disloyalty. Furthermore, you are merely my creation; why would you hide things from me, your creator?"

This string of questioning once again silenced Singularity.

Li Heng felt calm in his heart at this moment.

He was certain that this black hole spirit that had gained sentience, this Singularity monster, was definitely not a creation purely made by him. Something must have been mixed into it, such as that Source Power of ending!

Moreover, he had just used Source Power to foresee the situation and discovered that the control over this Singularity was not in his hands. In other words, once he allowed the black hole to reappear and let this Singularity become real, then Singularity would not obey his commands.

Therefore, he would not take this risk at all.

Create a creation that exceeded his own control, only to be killed by his own creation? If he were to do that, he would be a fool.

And most crucially, the risk and the reward were not proportional.

He did not believe that this Singularity could resolve the Mysterious Calamity.

Infinite power is very strong and can transcend all that is finite.

Theoretically, if a universe is of finite size, Singularity could burst the universe in an instant. Even if the universe were as vast as one hundred to the power of one hundred light-years, or even Graham's number of light-years, it would be the same.

However, this is Heaven and Earth possessing extraordinary power.

The outside is the even more vast and boundless Great Void.

While vast power is indeed Terror, one must also discuss its essence.

For instance, right now, this Singularity possesses Infinite power and could pierce through the Time-Space River in an instant, bursting the entire Heaven and Earth.

But because its essence is an Illusion of the future, lacking True Reality, the current Singularity is nothing more than a phantom, unable to interfere—or finding it difficult to interfere—with the True Reality of Heaven and Earth.

If the essence of the Mysterious Calamity is higher than that of Singularity.

Then even if Singularity possesses Infinite power, it is useless.

Even without considering the essence, just speaking of scale, the Mysterious Calamity might not necessarily be non-Infinite; otherwise, it would not have made that Immortal God figure so wary, running rampant through the Great Void.

In this way, Singularity also cannot resolve this Mysterious Calamity.

Furthermore, in a certain sense, Infinite can also be graded; otherwise, the Physical Universe of his past life would not have been able to contain so many black holes and so many Singularities without being burst.

To give a perhaps not-so-vivid example.

Mathematically, natural numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... extending on and on until infinity.

So it is said that natural numbers are also Infinite.

However, real numbers contain natural numbers.

Real numbers likewise possess 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 extending on and on until infinity in quantity.

But beyond that, real numbers also possess numbers such as 1.2 and 1.3, which have decimal points. These numbers cannot be contained by natural numbers and are not in the ranks of natural numbers.

It can be seen that,

although both are Infinite, real numbers are larger than natural numbers.

Therefore, once the Infinite of Singularity is smaller than the Infinite of the Mysterious Calamity, then the two cannot even be considered evenly matched. At that time, it would instead alert the enemy and truly draw the attention of the Mysterious Calamity.

By that time, that would be a total catastrophe!

These were not merely his guesses.

He had already used Source Power to foresee it slightly just now.

At this moment, Singularity finally spoke again, carrying a trace of disappointment.

"Indeed, for you who are the creator, I, this creation, have indeed overstepped, and it is not strange that I cannot obtain your trust. However, you will always need me in the future; I will keep waiting."

As the voice fell, the phantom of Singularity vanished.

Li Heng also discovered his perspective slowly receding, finally returning to within the Desperate Future. If it weren't for the fact that his Source Power had truly been consumed, he would have thought that everything just now was an illusion.

But perhaps it really was an illusion?

After all, it was just a conversation with the future, a phantom that did not exist.

Hiding this matter in his heart, Li Heng looked around again.

At this time, this piece of distorted and corrupted Heaven and Earth had already been more than half destroyed by the black hole he had summoned, with only the regions where each Human Shelter was located remaining somewhat intact.

And at this moment.

That "Future Savior Xiao Hao," on whom he had not pinned high hopes, seemed to have truly discovered something within that Taohuayuan.

"Old man, why do you like fishing so much?"

Inside Taohuayuan.

Xiao Hao asked the old man fishing on the bank next to him out of curiosity, though he felt somewhat uneasy in his heart. This was because he knew that this old man was also the leader and master of this Taohuayuan, and might be related to the Weird truth of Taohuayuan.

If his purpose were to be discovered by him, he would likely be done for.

However, the Savior System was very conscientious and had given him the mission rewards in advance, providing him with a trump card to save his life, which moved him greatly; he even wanted to be the system's dog forever.

This also put his mind at ease a little.

At this time, Xiao Hao had already been pua-ed into forgetting that these life-saving trump cards were actually his to begin with.

"People of Wuling take fishing as their profession, after all."

The old man chuckled.

"But the problem is, there's no need to work in Taohuayuan, right?"

Xiao Hao blinked, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Although he hadn't been in Taohuayuan for long, he could observe what this Taohuayuan was like; it was simply an ideal World, a utopia where no one needed to work and everyone could just enjoy themselves.

The old man was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Xiao Hao to be so direct.

"Fishing is a blessing."

After a long while, the old man squeezed out this sentence.

"Then why is it a blessing?"

Xiao Hao decided to get to the bottom of it.

This wasn't because he lacked social awareness.

It was because he vaguely sensed that the master of this Taohuayuan, this old man, seemed to be observing him as well, even carrying a trace of faint, imperceptible malice.

Since that was the case, he chose to be blunt.

Anyway, with his trump card in hand, he wouldn't die.

"A blessing can be understood as something you deserve, something good for you," the old man explained with a smile.

"But is fishing good? Didn't you say fishing is work?"

Xiao Hao was puzzled again.

At this moment, the old man finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

"You little brat, what's wrong with me having a hobby!"

"Asking questions left and right here!"

The old man suddenly started cursing, looking very unfriendly.

"Aren't you very curious? Come, here is a book for you to read!"

Saying this, he took out a pitch-black book directly, with two large characters written on the cover, "Gospel," though the handwriting was crooked and very sloppy, emitting a Weird aura.

"No, I'd better not read it; I'll go back and rest."

Xiao Hao smiled reluctantly and replied.

He could feel that this book was not a good thing.

"No, you cannot leave if you don't read it."

"Kid, you are too impatient; anyone can see what your purpose is. But since you have already sensed the abnormality, then I will let you know the truth—read the book!"

The old man dropped his fishing rod and sneered.

"Let me take a look."

At this moment, a light chuckle rang out.

Li Heng appeared silently beside the two of them and calmly took the "Gospel" from the old man's hand.
